Perhaps we can exchange numbers so we can discuss my schedule . I can sign the contract when I return . Gavin stared down at me for a moment ; his face hard to read . Adam has your number . Ill be in touch , he told me . I nodded and was about to step around him , but Irenes volge stopped me . Dad , why dont you take Judy home ? I didnt see her car here , Irene said , staring between me and her father . Its okay , I said quickly . Ill just call for an Uber- Yes , Ill have my driver take her , Gavin said , interrupting my words . I met his eyes , surprised by the offer . Ill accompany you . Itll give us a chance to talk in the car . I wanted to protest , but the look he was giving me was almost daring . I quickly clamped my lips shut and gave him a curt nod , murmuring my thanks . Then its decided , Irene said with a wide smile , clapping her hands together . It was very nice to meet you , Judy . I hope we can get to know one another soon . I could use some girlfriends . I forced a smile in her direction and nodded . The last thing I wanted was to be friends with this woman , but she was being kind , and I didnt want to seem rude , especially in front of my new boss . I turned my back to them and followed Gavin into the house As we walked through the Villa , we passed Adam who was walking down the large spiral staircase . He looked stressed and I knew it had to do with a very upset Matt who just got grounded . He paused when he saw us passing Adam , is the driver still out front ? Gavin asked without even looking at him . Yes , sir , he answered . Ill be taking Judy back to her home . Ill be back later this evening , Gavin told him , Alpha , a voice said from nearby just as we neared the front doon . I saw the driver from yesterday walking around the corner ; be was holding a small stack of papers in his hands as he approached . I got the contract you requested , he told him , handing Gavin the papers . The driver smiled as he looked at me . Good evening , Mam . Im Beta Taylor . Oh ! He was the Beta of the pack . Now that I was looking at him , he did have the aura and appearance of a Beta . I smiled politely at him . Its an honor to meet you , Beta , I said , lowering my head in respect .noveldrama We need to go , Gavin said sharply . I tried my best not to scowl at him ; he didnt have to speak so rudely , I thought to myself . I kept those thoughts in Chapter 0018 my mind though , not wanting to cause any issues . I didnt say anything more to Taylor , and he didnt say anything more to me . He just watched as Gavin pulled me out of his villa and towards the waiting car . The driver immediately got out and ran around the car , bowing his head at Gavin before opening the back door . Gavin motioned for me to get in first . I smiled my thanks to the driver before sliding into the car , Gavin slid in beside me and the driver shut the door . He ran around to the front and sat in the drivers seat . Where to , Alpha ? The driver asked . Take us to the Carter Resort . 1 stared at Gavin , shocked . I thought you were taking me home , I said , my brows pinched together . I need to speak with you alone , he told me . Also , I heard your stomach growl earlier and assumed you were hungry . It didnt take us long to get to the restaurant resort . I followed Gavin into the restaurant , and he was immediately greeted by the hostess ; I knew her from when I briefly worked here and from the engagement party . Nan had the day off today , so I didnt have to worry about her seeing me and asking me a million questions as to why I was there with Gavin . Good evening , Mr. Landry , she said with a beaming smil A table for two ? Your favorite booth is available . Yes , thank you , Gavin said with a nod . We followed the hostess across the restaurant and towards the booth in the far back , next to the large window that overlooked the harbor . It had a gorgeous view of the citys nightlife sparkling off the water . The hostess handed us a couple of menus and then left . I was expecting Gavin to start talking and tell me why he wanted to talk to me privately , but he remained silent as he looked over the menus . A few minutes later , a waitress arrived and took our orders . It was obvious she took a liking to Gavin immediately because she mainly ignored me . She was too busy batting her lashes and flaunting her hips to notice that I was sitting there . What would you like to eat ? Gavin asked me , bringing me out of my thoughts . At that point , the waitress finally turned her attention to me and her dislike was evident . Ill just take the Cobb salad , I told her , handing her the menu . Bring us a bottle of wine as well , he ordered . Right away , she murmured before walking away . Gavin finally cleared his throat and fixed his attention on me . ΠΕ . So , we should discuss what happened earlier , he said , leaning back in his seat as he took me in . The incident with Ethan . </body></html>
